What are the benefits of coaching?

The business case for nurturing that talent through coaching is well established.

A 2011 Learning and Talent Development survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development found that organisations rated coaching by external consultants as the most effective learning and development practice for leaders.

The peer-based, experiential approach Oasis takes empowers people to own their ongoing self-development and builds their capacity to anticipate their future needs.

Our work is underpinned by the belief that everyone has the resources to become more effective in their life and work.

By working with a coach you can develop your skills and understanding, reducing your reliance on external support.

Benefits of coaching for you as an individual

For individuals in leadership roles, finding time and the right environment to consider the bigger issues, make significant transitions or develop new ways of working is a constant challenge.

Committing to coaching ensures that you:

  • benefit from dedicated time, a confidential setting and the support of an experienced practitioner to get to the heart of even the most complex professional and personal issues
  • make time for reflection and feedback
  • develop yourself in your approach to leadership, learning and life
  • achieve new clarity, see issues in a fresh way and change limiting perceptions
  • rehearse possible options and consider consequences
  • have the strategies to work with your own processes, insights, challenges and intuition.

Benefits of coaching for you as an organisation

As well as improving individual performance, coaching:

  • addresses the challenges facing the most visible and influential people in the organisation
  • refreshes mindsets, fostering creativity and innovation
  • increases the quality of engagement with key issues, freeing people to ‘think out loud’ about factors that are affecting their performance and proactively address them
  • enables working at depth, to accelerate learning
  • identifies key organisational trends, conflicts and questions
  • aligns organisational values and strategic thinking to practice
  • emphasises practical application by providing support over time, embedding the learning in ‘live’ issues faced by the organisation
  • helps the organisation realise its investment in other training or development processes
  • actively helps key people re-focus and re-engage in times of stress or organisational change, maintaining optimum performance and contributing to senior-level retention.
